Huge new Indian Land subdivision could go near Sun City. Here’s how many homes they want
A massive new senior living community could come to Lancaster County, just south of Sun City in Indian Land.
Delray Beach, Florida, company Kolter Group Acquisitions applied for several county zoning changes to allow a community called Cresswind. It would be an age-restricted senior community by Kolter Homes on nearly 870 acres.
A sketch plan submitted to the county shows 853 home lots. Plans don’t indicate the cost of the project. A call to the developer fromn The Herald wasn’t immediately returned Thursday afternoon.
The western end of Cresswind would be Van Wyck Road, across from thousands more senior living homes at Sun City. Cresswind would stretch east to U.S. 521, or Charlotte Highway, and south to the railroad line across from Waxhaw Highway and the Walnut Creek subdivision.
The sketch plan shows a new public boulevard through the property, giving it two access points. One would across Charlotte Highway from Henry Harris Road. The other would be on Van Wyck Road near River Bend Boulevard, in Sun City.
The sketch plan shows 409 acres of open space that include ponds, streams and wetlands. There’s a 7-acre amenity area at the center of the property in one sketch plan, though it’s broken into two pieces in another version.
The main entrance on Charlotte Highway would have more than 13 acres a business space and 3 acres of institutional space. That’s a zoning typically used for county properties like a park, fire station or emergency response substation.
The area zoned for business is described in documents only as retail or commercial construction.
What comes next for the project
The project requires a mix of decisions, include zoning and county land use plan changes. It also would involve a development agreement with the county.
A community meeting on Cresswind will be held at 5 p.m. Jan. 14 at the Del Webb Library in Indian Land.
The county Planning Commission will get more information when the proposal comes to that group Jan. 21. The commission will recommend for or against changes, but Lancaster County Council will have the final decision.
The county council won’t look at the Cresswind proposal until at least Jan. 27.
The decisions will take multiple council votes, lasting at least a month from when that group first sees the Cresswind proposal.
